Quavo, W O R K I N M E [Photo Credits: Quality Control, Motown, Capitol]Quavo goes solo on “W O R K I N M E,” one of three singles released on August 10, 2018.  The results are positive, not earth shattering.

Sooner or later, solo songs from Quavo of Migos were expected.  Finally, or predictably, they’ve arrived.  Tackling each of the three singles released the same day individually, we move on from “L A M B T A L K” and examine “W O R K I N M E.” It’s a decent listening experience, but don’t call it a game changer by any means.

Quavo continues to keep things brief on “W O R K I N M E.” Like “L A M B T A L K,” “W O R K I N M E” also clocks in under three minutes.  It’s a sufficient amount – no shade.  Also like “L A M B T A L K,” the rapper is true to self on “W O R K I N ME” – confident, with a compelling flow.  Does he say much? Nah, but the vibe is on-point.   Furthermore, the production is slick, though nothing game changing.  Still, a hard, syncopated beat, and light, colorful synths go a long way.  One selling point for Q is the chorus, which is catchy, easily getting stuck in your head.


Final Thoughts

All in all, Quavo delivers a pleasant, inoffensive solo offering with “W O R K I N M E.”  It’s not a show stopping record or performance, but enjoyable.  There are much more memorable rap records, but give Q some credit.
